Game 1, Overflow Thread 3: Dustin Pedroia Hits Bombs and Posada Drops Balls

PrintDustin Pedroia hits bombs and you must just accept it.
Pedroia hit a two-run home run with one out in the 7th to tie the game, 7-7. Kevin Youkilis followed two batters later with a wall-scraping double, advanced to third on a passed ball and scored the same way to give the Red Sox their first lead, 8-7.
Daniel Bard is coming into the ballgame to pitch the 8th.

Joe Buck has an attitude that hates Red Sox
(for sweeping his beloved Cards)
… and the feeling is mutual
Plus Buck's voice is constant - he's play by play
Morgan is just the ‘color’ guy. You can hit the mute button.

I had jaw surgery
A week before Westmoreland, and even I don’t feel comfortable going to Fenway yet. He had brain surgery a week after mine, and is there.
While it was very sad to see how dazed he seemed, it’s still very early. I can’t imagine what something like that, especially in the brain stem, must do to immediate movement.
